Google’s AI Mode can now track flight prices, help book hotels, and more
Google is expanding its AI Mode to include comprehensive travel planning features, such as flight price tracking and hotel booking. The tool allows users to converse with the AI to find options, compare prices, and complete bookings directly through integrated partners.
Why it matters
This move signals a shift in search engine utility, positioning AI as a direct intermediary in the travel industry and potentially disrupting traditional travel booking platforms.
Google is adding new ways for users to plan and book trips through AI Mode, its conversational search experience, the company announced on Thursday. Users will now be able to ask AI Mode to track flight prices, book hotels, and see the cost of flights and hotels in points or miles.
The updates indicate that Google is looking to position AI Mode as an AI travel agent of sorts, as it’s moving beyond simply helping users find information to actually handling parts of the trip-planning and booking process itself.
